BMW f800gs EWS Fault with low beam light on .HELPhttps://ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/501270-BMW-f800gs-EWS-Fault-with-low-beam-light-on-HELP?goto=newpost
Wed, 20 Feb 2019 20:48:48 GMTI have a problem I'm trying to solve .
I went to start bike after a stint of not using it and turn key on no start.

I have put battery on charge since and back on bike (no luck).
I did alot of reading online so decided to replace ring antenna (no luck)
Thought have i brought a dud ring antenna so plugged it into my r1200gs started up. So tested old antenna on r1200gs started up.
Took battery out of r1200gs put in f800gs (no Luck).

Went to dealer he said change battery it has a reading of 12.60 volts (f800gs) which he said is low should be 12.80 volts the (r1200gs) has 12.50 volt and starts it fine.
I tested all my other vehicles batterys and ranged from 12.40volts to 12.75 volts all start fine.
Is 12.60 volts stuffed??? I looked at date on battery 10 yrs old its the original battery Is this the problem?.
So I put (f800gs) battery in r1200gs started bike better and stronger than is own battery.
I put battery on charge again and took to auto electrician to load test battery he tested it standing voltage 12.90 volts and passed load test without a hint of trouble he said this battery is 10yrs old but healthy not my problem.
I have read online wires chaffing and breaking in lome ( I have not gone this far yet).

Also read the computer not booting up properly after battery been removed and you are to turn key off and on two times to sort this (no luck).
I have also read people having had to replace the engine control unit under the seat BMS-K $1500- $2000nz ouch ?
I have also talked to a BMW expert not dealer ( dealership trained) he is currently working on another f800gs with similar problem (but no low beam on ) and he is going through the loom looking for a break and will take a look at mine if I have no luck once he can work out his current one

Also note as part of my routine I store my bikes un ridden for months on end so will disconnect battery from bike and trickle charge to maintain battery health every 3 months bikes are only disconnected for the night when doing this.

I really would appreciate if you have experienced the above symptoms especially the low beam on I would like to here from you .
cheers ken
Does anybody have any insight or experience with this I would appreciate some help.
thanks

Really look forward to some decent rides and some adventures on the new beast. Coming from Ducati 899 Panigale, ZZR 1400, GSXR, etc. it will be quite a change but I think it will be all positive!

Thanks for the help everyone that replied to my posts or PM'd me. :)

Nice to find a place with GSlovers :beerjug:
My name is Kostas and I am originally from Athens - Greece. I have recently moved to the UK because of a job offer. My profession is field service engineer on medical devices.
I love motorcycles and mostly riding them. I own a beautiful fat lady named Rynda and she is almost 17 years old (R1150GS). Previously I had a F800GS and a KTM690.

I love going off-road with Rynda and exploring new places. Here is a pic of me and Rynda on top of mount Panachaiko

I知 planning on buying a new 1250 GS Adventure next month and since I知 from Scotland and like getting a good deal (be tight), I was wondering if any dealers do deals on bikes? I知 used to being able to get good money off cars but never really tried to do it with a bike so not even sure if it痴 something dealers do at all?

My local dealer is offering a slightly reduced APR which would help, but just wondering if any dealers do deals basically.

I don稚 mind where they are because I知 happy to travel (and ride it back home to break it in a bit [emoji4]).

Thanks in advance everyone!

Dan
